An unrecorded 310 North to Cov where a “Mid” was purchased for the day and following week. A huge disappointment at Wolves with dud “rats” on the down Aber. Required 47336 lifted spirits as did seeing 40158 on a ballast at Nuneaton. An afternoon leap down to Leamington to cover the table 116 procession of big 47’s. When 33110 produced on the Weymouth – Leeds it had to be done, my first Crompton on a service train into New St.
A required 83005 ended the winning list for the day, although 47322 was a good un back to Coventry where the parcels depot alongside the top end of platform 1 contained a stabled 08 and 25, a photo with time has proved to be a rare one. A reasonable although unspectacular day “on the Mid”..
